The d'll"rent authorities of the Italian
Monarchy, having taken the oath offi deli-,
ty to the King, his Majesty addressed them
in tnefe terms :
“ Senators,
<f Vv r e with el on ruts oec.a lion to come a.
nong you, for Ihe purpose of acquainting you
vvitli what onr thoughts are, upon one oJ the
mod important objects of the If arc.
i( Switzerland v/as occupied by our sr.
mies... We defended it against the combined
force of Europe. Its union would have cam.
plctcd our military frontier. Switzerland
governs Itfelf hy th; art of mediation, and
by the inclination of nineteen free and in
dependent cantons.
“ The union of the territory of the Itali
an Republic with the French Empire, would
have Loin advantageous
mSht of our agriculture, ‘
ter the fccond corqiiell, wc cor firm its In
dependence ut Ljdns. We do more this
day.
Cf . We proclaim the principle of the repa
ration .of the crowns of France and Italy ;
uliigning for the puled of that reparation,
the. moment when it »JUII become pcffible,
without danger to our people of Italy.
** We have accepted, and we will place
on our head, the iron crown of the ancient
Lombards, for the purpose of new tem
pering it, toconfolidme it, that it may not
be broken in the rnidft of the tempers which
raenance it, so long as the Mediterranean
shall not be redored to i r s pristine date.
<f Bat we do not hesitate to declare, that
we will transmit this crovvn to one of oar
lawful children, natural or adapted, the
day when we flrall be without alarm for
that independence which we have guaran
teed to the other (fates of the Mediterran
ean.
** The genius of evil will seek in vain
for pretext to plunge the continent into war.
That which has been united to our empire
by the law of the (fate, lhall remain so
No new province lhall be incorporated with
i: ; but the laws ol the Batavian Rcpuh.
lie, the art of mediation of the nineteen
Swiss Cantons, and this firft ftatutc of the
kingdom of Italy, are couftnmly under the
proteftion of our crown, and we (hall never
foffer them to be attacked.
“ circumlVancef and in all transac
tions, wc will display the fame moderation ;
and we hope, that cur people will no longer
have oucafion to manned that courage and
energy, which they have always (he’wn in
| defending their lawful rights.
The (Irength and power of the French
.mpi.r'’, arc exceeded by the moderation
Ftr (h( j • Ref $f RAirt rat fox, and otherc j v
which regular's onr political concerns. We • i
have conquered Holland, three fourths of
Germany, S witzerland/ and the rw hole of
Italy ! We have been moderate in the midst
of.the. greatr.ft proTpcrhy. Out of so many
' provinces, wc have only preserved those
which were neccffaryto keep us at the fame
pom.,*- which W d. j
wafs was. The divilion of Poland, pro- j
vinces torn from Turkey, the conqieft of
India, and atnoli alh-the colonics, h»s bro
ken the general balance, to our detriment.
“ All that we have judged neceftary for
. the rc-cftabliftiment of this balance, wo have
restored, and in doing so, we havea-died coa.
fermabiy to that principle., by which we have
been always guided, never to take aims for
the accompiiihment of vain poje£U of great
nef;, nor from the desire of conqncft*
“ 'Germany was evacuated, its-provin
ces were rtiinrcJ to the cWcemiants of so
in my illaftrious hoafts which were iolf for
ever, 'if we had not-at£>rdcd them our gen
erous protection. We have raised them up
and confirmed them : and the princes of
German / are at this day in a more splen
did function than their anceftorscver were.
Anftria berfelf, after two unfuccefsful
wars, has acquired the {fate of Venice. At
all times (he would willingly have exchanged
the province which (he has loft, for die
Venetian territory.
t( Holland was fee ready conquered, when
(he was declared independent. Her union
with our empire would have completed our
commercial system, since the greatest rivers
of one half of our territory meet the'fea
through Holland. Sill Holland is indepen
dent ; and its cuft«ma, its commerce, *and,
its adrainiltratiniv are directed by the will
of its govermejat.” ,■ j

AUGUSTA,
„ The great objciff of the monarchists or
anti-republicans, natives as well as foreigners,
redding jn this country fmee the revolution
has .invariably been to cry down Republi
canism and bring the democratic inftiuuions
of America, into disgrace and contempt
at Home :ind abroad.
With this view Porcupine attacked Re
publicanism, aflhrting that it was rank
Jacobinifm—and at another time, hcaffailed
it in the guise of Democracy, boldly dis
tinguishing between both, as if they were
not the fame fifing, or the terms Jy?ianymous.
The .Anti-rcppblipaps and torics from that
day to this, persevere in their libellous and
. treacherous attacks on Republicanism, pre.
tending that it is fomeihing very widely
different from Democracy.—lt was in this
Tpirit of-hoftility tq republicanism, that
..FJobby ip, his.two last fbeets, assailed the
- democratic principles long embraced and
■, chcrifhed by the majority of the Citizens »f
thef; dates, and p/adfically afkd on by their
refpeftive governments.
This hostility to Democracy, on the part
of Hobby, is the more strange, as he ia re
presented to have been a few years ajo, one
of the mod flaming and cnthufiaftic Demo
crats in Georgia-—he is said to have gone
so far, as to have aflifted at planting the tree
of Liberty in Petersburg, capping it with
the bontt reuge % and dancingjround it, with
the agility of a Cheroke or a Carmignol.
Why this little gentleman renounced his prin.
ciples, is best known to himfelf; but if we
may venture an opinion, we verily believe
he never was really and truly a Republican
-.he only were the maJi , until he found a
favorable opportunity of throwing it off.
When aristocracy and monarchical princi.
pies began ro rear their heads in the Repub.
lie, under the late administration, then the
Anti-republicans and Tories began to un.
dt/gttje themselves, and openly combat the
principles and dofhincs, they prefetfed and
pretended to believe before.
Still, do those confpirarors and domestic
traitors perferve in their open attacks on
the Democracy of the United Statcs—ftill
do they endeavour to libel and the
general Government, as well as those of
the different states, for avowing democratic
principles; and that these, and these only,
arc the principles avowed, we shall prove
by the following pa Sages, from an add of . ,
the J-egiflature of the State of Georgia, and .
then leave the reader to form bis own opin
ion of the objefl and vit'ws of Hobby and
others, who aflail Democracy on every oc- . •
caflon. •
